No workers should face discrimination because of issues unrelated to what they do at work.
Yet this happens every day to workers everywhere. They face discrimination based on gender, age, race, sexual orientation, disability, nationality, religion, and other factors that make them different from the dominant groups in our society.
For the union movement to grow strong it must develop its capacity to organise all workers. CPSU is working to promote equal opportunity; oppose discrimination and promote positive action to address past discrimination for the following groups:
Women
Torres Strait and aboriginal people
Lesbians and gays
Older people
People with disabilities
Young people
